Korea is the land of coffee shops. Just walk down any street in Seoul and you’ll find a huge selection of cafes- racoon cafes, book cafes and nap cafes, to name but a few. However, the newest and most innovative café on the block is the new DeCentre blockchain café.

The DeCentre blockchain café, located in the heart of Gangnam, offers a space for crypto-enthusiasts to come together, share their knowledge and get updated on the latest blockchain news.

Despite the Korean government’s conservative views on blockchain technology, young people have been quick to adopt cryptocurrency and have a keen interest in ICO projects.
